Class Note 1983
Issue
Sept - Oct 2015
Mary Jane Casavant ’85 and Barclay Fitzpatrick are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year with their sons, Declan (14) and Paxton (18), who last November joined the class of 2019! Barclay attached a picture showing Paxton at the moment he received the news of his early acceptance, which you can see in our next newsletter. One happy boy! Barclay retired a couple years ago and has been providing consulting services to charitable groups in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while rehabbing houses for fun. They were off to the United Kingdom and Scotland during the summer, hoping to run into Mike “Slim” Dickens ’82 and looking forward to many trips to Hanover during the next four years.
Libby Schmeltzer Hinson writes: “It’s a funny life, isn’t it? Between the unimaginable heartbreak of losing my parents in May and February, our family celebrated a year of milestones. Our son, Will, was graduated from Vanderbilt and has recently started his graduate degree in leadership and organizational performance at the Peabody School there. In June I was thrilled to spend two weeks in Omaha, Nebraska, watching him earn his College World Series ring as advance scout for the Commodores. His summer was spent working with the Milwaukee Brewers. Our daughter, Lizzie, was graduated from Sierra Canyon (high school) and began her freshman year at Vandy and was shocked to see snow fall out of the sky for the first time in her life!” Libby and her family live in the Los Angeles area.
Lots of graduations in June: Mac Gardner’s daughter, Annie, was a class marshal for the class of 2015. Andre Hunter and Kelly Fowler Hunter’s son, Cameron, graduated from Dartmouth as well. And daughter Casey graduated from high school and will be heading to Dartmouth in the fall. Jessica Rosenberg Brown’s daughter, Lily, graduated from Dartmouth too. Mark Flessel’s daughter, Ally, graduated from Bucknell, while daughter Katherine will be a sophomore at Dartmouth in the fall. I know there are a ton more graduations but that’s all I can remember now! Post your graduate on our Facebook page, “Dartmouth Class of 1983.” Send me your news! Forever green!
